Who Looks Best in a Black Dress and Blazer: Charlize Theron or Jennifer Hudson?

April 28, 2017 • by Cha Miñoza

We recently spotted two strong, powerful Hollywood women sporting similar looks on separate occasions. Both Charlize Theron and Jennifer Hudson both wore black dress and blazer-themed ensembles. The little black dress is a go-to for many celebs, and blazers are a great way to add a little class to a classic. So, we can see why both ladies rocked this outfit.

Who do you think wore the look better?

Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron normally opts for either ankle-grazing gowns or super short hemlines. However, the actress-turned-producer went for a knee-length black slip at the premiere of her latest project “Girlboss.” Charlize paired the Nili Lotan dress with a Givenchy blazer, and finished the look off with a pair of Gianvito Rossi ankle strap heels. While the silky number had a sophisticated but sexy vibe, we think the black-on-black ensemble was a little too plain. The knee-length hem also covered up her beautiful legs, which would have elevated this look even more.

Jennifer Hudson

While Charlize’s outfit was safe and plain, Jennifer Hudson went for full-on fierce. The award-winning singer showed off her enviable figure in a velvet Brandon Maxwell number, which had a short hemline and a cinched waist detail that highlighted her curvy figure. While Jennifer’s outfit was also black-on-black, the addition of a cape detail jazzed it up a bit.
